Then, finally, we speak with Adam Winkler, professor of Constitutional Law at UCLA and author of the new book, “Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America”. We discuss an untold history Adam Winkler’s book reveals that explodes the myth of the Wild West and finds that the Ku Klux Klan began as a gun control organization and that the modern gun rights movement was inspired by fear of the Black Panthers.
